I’m sorry to hear about what you’re going through-it sounds very concerning, and I understand why you’re looking for answers. While a concussion can impact blood flow and neurovascular function, I can’t comment on your specific situation without a proper evaluation. Given the persistent and unusual symptoms you’re describing, it’s important to see a healthcare professional as soon as possible for a full assessment, including imaging if needed. This will help rule out anything more serious and guide you toward the appropriate care. If you’d like further guidance on concussion recovery, I offer Concussion Recovery Consults, which you can learn more about here: www.drheisig.com/appointments. Please prioritize seeing someone locally to ensure you get the care you need.

Glad you liked it!

I appreciate that!

Thank you so much for the kind words-I really appreciate it! You’re absolutely right about the challenges of 'Dr. Google' and doctor shopping. It can be so tough to find the right support when you’re in pain, and that’s exactly why I’m passionate about sharing reliable information to help guide recovery.

Thanks again for watching, and I’m wishing you all the best on your journey!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for sharing your perspective-these are some great points about the role of an anti-inflammatory diet in managing concussion and post-concussion syndrome. Nutrition can make a big difference in reducing inflammation and supporting recovery, especially when it comes to gut-brain health. You’re absolutely right that it’s not about starving yourself but fueling your body with the right nutrients. Avoiding processed foods and focusing on whole, nutrient-dense options like olive oil, lean proteins, and anti-inflammatory fats is a great foundation. If you’re looking for more tailored advice or guidance on recovery, I offer Concussion Recovery Consults, where we dive into strategies like this in detail: www.drheisig.com/appointments. Thanks for contributing to the conversation-wishing you all the best on your recovery journey!

Thank you for your message, and I’m sorry to hear about your concussion-it’s completely normal to feel anxious and worried during recovery. While your symptoms are improving, the lingering sensation you’re describing can be part of the healing process, but it’s important to monitor it closely. It’s understandable to be concerned about long-term effects like CTE, but the good news is that CTE is associated with repeated, severe head trauma over many years. A single concussion, even from sparring, is not likely to lead to that outcome. If the weird sensation or your anxiety persists, I’d recommend getting evaluated by a concussion specialist for reassurance and guidance. I also offer Concussion Recovery Consults to help you navigate recovery and address your specific concerns: www.drheisig.com/appointments. You’re already on the right track by seeking information and taking your recovery seriously. Wishing you a smooth recovery-don’t hesitate to reach out if you need further support!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad you’ve found the recommendations helpful for both recovery and everyday life-that means a lot to me. It’s amazing to hear about your progress over the past 6 months! Slowing down videos early on is a great strategy, and it sounds like you’ve been patient and proactive in your recovery. Keep up the great work, and feel free to reach out if you ever have more questions or need support on your journey!

I’m sorry to hear you’re dealing with this-it sounds incredibly frustrating, and I completely understand why you’re looking for answers. While BPPV isn’t always linked to head trauma, it’s often caused by tiny crystals in the inner ear shifting out of place. Treatments like repositioning maneuvers can be very effective for relief. If this is something you’d like more help with, I offer Concussion Recovery Consults to provide personalized guidance and support: www.drheisig.com/appointments. In the meantime, I’d also recommend reaching out to a local vestibular specialist to get an assessment and tailored care plan. I hope you find relief soon!

I’ve addressed your comments multiple times, and I must reiterate that I cannot provide medical advice through TH-cam.

Hi Barry, great question! CBD has been a popular topic in concussion recovery. While some people report symptom relief, the research is still mixed and not conclusive. I actually covered this in a video back in 2021-feel free to check it out for more context. I’m glad you’re trying creatine, as it has some solid evidence for brain recovery. If tension headaches persist, I’d recommend a more tailored approach. You can explore this further through my Concussion Recovery Consults: www.drheisig.com/appointments. Wishing you all the best in your recovery!

Repeatedly commenting on this channel is not a viable solution to address your concerns. I strongly recommend seeking immediate medical care in your area for proper evaluation and support. Thank you for understanding.

I understand your concern, and I’m sorry you’re experiencing these symptoms.

Yep! I just linked it to this short 🤙🤝🧠

@@drmarkheisig thank you!

Please go check out the full video & others on my channel. I think you’ll find your questions answered🤝🧠

@drmarkheisig I have seen your videos. They are very good. There is so much fearmongering around this subject, many groups are there saying to ban American football, rugby, wrestling etc

Sorry to hear you’re going through this-it sounds really challenging. Proper rest and recovery are crucial after a concussion, but even if that didn’t happen right away, there are still ways to move forward.

If you’d like more personalized support, you can book a Concussion Recovery Consult here: www.drheisig.com/appointments. I’d be happy to help you take the next steps!

@@drmarkheisig Hi Dr. Mark. Does CBD help with concussion? I'm on week 8 since I had my concussion and I have been having the tension headaches mainly. I have started to increase my Creatine intake after watching one of your videos regarding that so will see how that goes. Thanks, Barry.

Brother barry can u tell my problem to your any local doctor​@@barrytest9738

As mentioned in the video, eosinophils are associated with allergies (and/or "mast cell things") and parasites. The relative % is not established but shows trends relative to other WBCs (e.g., neutrophils and basophils). The absolute for this person was 0.4x10^3 cells per microliter (uL). That's upper limit of normal, and... totally normal.

Sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with recurring BPPV-it can be really frustrating. While it’s possible for BPPV to come and go, addressing the underlying causes and using targeted treatments can help reduce how often it happens. If you’d like a personalized plan to manage or prevent these episodes, you can book an Intro Consult here: www.drheisig.com/appointments. I’d be happy to help you figure out the best steps forward!

Hi there! It sounds like you’ve been through so much, and I get how exhausting it is to feel unheard while managing these symptoms. Concussions can disrupt hormones, HRV, and more-you're not alone in this! I’d recommend checking out my Concussion Reset program, where you'll learn self-guided care strategies and how to advocate for yourself with doctors (each Milestone covers the ins and outs of concussion/PCS, and ends with which specialist to reach out to for each problem). If you’d like personalized support, consider booking a Concussion Intro Call so we can create a clear plan for moving forward. You’ve got this!

@ Thank you SO much!! Education on PCS needs to gain more traction because had I known the long term consequences, I may have done a lot differently. Thank you for spreading awareness. Keep it up! 💙

I mean this compassionately; I'm not sure that you know what you're asking. Let's break this down: - Most concussions are from accidental falls and motor vehicle accidents. Of course, that car accident risk is not there if you're not in a car. - Football is a contact sport with a risk of concussion. Of course, if you do not play, that risk is not there. - Football players sustain concussions at rates ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 per 1,000 athlete exposures (AEs). For every 1,000 athlete exposures-whether that’s 1,000 players in one game or one player participating in 1,000 games-the average athlete might sustain 1 to 2 concussions within this range. And that would be the risk of engaging in football. Does that make sense?

Thanks for sharing! Keep on keeping on!

Appreciate you!

It’s great that you’re recognizing the importance of strengthening your neck-consistent exercises can really make a difference in recovery.

It depends on where "here" is for you. Sunny doesn't always equal vitamin D in the northern hemisphere at this time of year. Best way to is measure levels occasionally to ensure that whatever you're trying is working. "In latitudes around 40 degrees north or 40 degrees south (Boston is 42 degrees north), there is insufficient UVB radiation available for vitamin D synthesis from November to early March. Ten degrees farther north or south (Edmonton, Canada), the "vitamin D winter" extends from mid-October to mid-March." - lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/vitamins/vitamin-D#sunlight-sources

I'd have to ask a physicist. I'm not sure about each specific context.

Thank you for sharing-what your girlfriend experienced sounds very challenging, and I’m glad she had your support during that time. It’s not uncommon for brain injuries to temporarily impact other systems in the body, including the heart, due to the connection between the brain and the autonomic nervous system. If she’s still recovering or experiencing any lingering effects, it could be helpful to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure everything is on the right track. I also offer Concussion Recovery Consults to help guide recovery and address lingering concerns: www.drheisig.com/appointments. Wishing her continued health and recovery!

Thanks for listening! 🙏❤️🧠

Head impacts are *associated* with TES/CTE, not causal. We can’t define subconcucussion because we can’t even really define concussion objectively. Accuracy of public knowledge of CTE is ~48% (despite this, confidence in knowledge is high). My point? This conversation is a lot more nuanced. 🙏❤️🧠

@@drmarkheisig the high school kids are bigger than ever. The future of football, physiologically, is BiggerFasterStronger. And ultimately there will be a season or even one weekend of unprecedented travesties. BiggerFasterStronger

@@drmarkheisig i was watching a PBS documentary on HS football in regards to head injuries and the Trinity team in Texas looked like a death squad. They went up against one of the higher rated teams but it didnt matter. Trinity(#1) punished them all game long, moreso physically than on the scoreboard. And the scoreboard wasnt pretty.

From what I’ve heard they don’t mind a ton, though it can tend to get hot. That presents its own unique problem/risk factor in concussion. 🤷‍♂️

Yup 🤙

Glad you enjoyed it!

The data shows (at least in young males) about 13 days. That lines up with my experience across guys and gals - usually 1-2 weeks of structured progressive exercise. Longer in some PCS cases. Definitely longer (and often different approach) with dysautonomia like POTS.

@@drmarkheisig thank you! 🙏🏼
